Evening all! Hope everyone had a nice weekend!
Clara, how are the moving/not moving plans going? Did you get to speak to the woman who is already there? Sounds to me like your DH is trying to put the decision on you so he doesn't have to feel bad if its the wrong choice! Has he said what he would want to do if the decision was solely down to him? Might make it easier to come to a joint agreement about it all.
Wizz, my hair did not fall out when finished BFing but then I did loose loads a few weeks after the birth - I guess it is the change in hormones, affects people differently.
Buzzy, hows it going? Have you heard anything about the job yet?
Caz we get mega tantrums here too, anytime Evie wants her own way! She is very opinionated and knows just what she wants - we all know about it if she doesn't get it! My DSs never really tantrummed much so its a whole new thing for me to deal with! This morning the sulk was because she wanted DH to dress her not me! She is really missing him now he's working again and wants cuddles immediately he comes in the door at night. She is fairly good with having her teeth brushed, I sing a song (the brush brush clean song from Bear in the Big Blue House). Sometimes she lets me brush them well, sometimes not. I also let her have her brush in the bath and she chews it for a while but I figure she is getting some brushing done too!
BT, hows your new business empire? Is Daniel still okay after his MMR?
Arcadie, hiya! Did you have a nice evening out with your DH last night? We put the DCs to bed and then had a candlelight takeaway - was really nice! How is your Davina video going? Your FB comments about it always make me giggle! My DSs were both a bit poorly for a few days after their MMR vaccines too, more grumpy than ill but still not well IYKWIM. Evie is also not really talking, she makes an effort to copy some words but usually just picks a syllable she likes rather than trying the whole word. She definitely understands everything said to her though, you can ask her something (ie where is your dragon book?) and she will respond accordingly (go and get it). She is quick to associate pictures or words with certain actions though, she has a book with a picture of a fish in and she makes her mouth open and close like a fish everytime she sees it - everybody has to look at her though, she's not happy until we have all told her how clever she is!
Skid, hiya, hows it all going?
In the last couple of days she has shown a real interest in feeding herself with the spoon although she hasn't the patience really. She will hold a spoon and dip it in the food while I feed her with another spoon. She likes me to put food on her spoon for her, she holds it out to me until I do, some of it slides off but a fair bit goes in!
I got a new buggy today too, I wanted a stroller to keep in the car but DH found the umbrella ones really uninspiring so he bought me a Quinny Zapp! I'm so pleased, its lovely and light to push and folds up tiny! No good if I walk to town as it has no basket or recline but that's what I have my lovely Urban Detour one for. Quinny will be great if we go to Scotland this summer as it takes up so little boot space!
Oooh, and one last thing - DH has got a promotion at work! He's only been there 3 weeks but they are really impressed with him and have asked him to be a foreman on a job starting in a couple of weeks! It should be a bit more money too which will be handy.
